I am trying out Backbone.Marionette and I am confused as to why my Layouts and ItemViews keep generating extra divs.
example is in Coffee btw.
AppLayout = Backbone.Marionette.Layout.extend
template: "#my-layout",
regions:
menu: "#menu",
content: "#content"
MyMenuView = Backbone.Marionette.ItemView.extend
template: '#project_wiz_nav_template'
MyContentView = Backbone.Marionette.ItemView.extend
template: '#project_setup_template'
MyApp = new Backbone.Marionette.Application()
MyApp.addRegions
mainRegion: '#project'
MyApp.addInitializer ->
layout = new AppLayout()
MyApp.mainRegion.show(layout)
layout.menu.show(new MyMenuView())
layout.content.show(new MyContentView())
MyApp.start()
This is what index.html contains:
<div id='project'></div>
<script type='text/template' id='project_wiz_nav_template'> <h2>HI</h2> </script>
<script type='text/template' id='project_setup_template'> <h2>WORLD</h2> </script>
<script id="my-layout" type="text/template">
<h2>Hello!</h2>
<div id="menu"></div>
<div id="content"></div>
</script>
This is what it produces:
<div id="project">
<div>
<h2>Hello!</h2>
<div id="menu">
<div>
<h2>HI</h2>
</div>
</div>
<div id="content">
<div>
<h2>WORLD</h2>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
As you can see, it keeps generating extra divs for the views and the layouts. I've tried adding el: '#menu'
and el: '#content'
to no avail.
